MONEY MONEY MONEY: Must be funny

Date: Thu 24 February 2011
Time: 7pm - 10pm
Venue: Coexist, Bristol

Does the current capitalist system work pretty well, all things considered? Was the recent economic meltdown the sign of a system that's fundamentally had it's day, or was it just a temporary blip and we can now get back to business as usual? Or could we create a new social order that's more responsible, just and humane and that better supports human flourishing?

HAPPINESS: Who wants some?

We all want happiness, of course. And yet, after thousands of years of culture - of philosophy, of religion, of science - we still don't seem to have much idea how to get it. So what really does make a human being happy? And how can we organise our lives and our society for optimal happiness?

We had Chris Johnstone, Jewels Wingfield, Liz Zeidler and Miriam Akhtar on the panel, with the The Blood Choir and Light Box performing.
